Re: Floating island environment
The normal map turned out okay I guess, but I think I may have to size it up to 2048 pixels instead of 1024. I should propably have tried to build this modularly from the beginning, to get better texture res. If there is time over I might redo it, but I have to move on. -
Re: Portfolio Feedback
Hi man, saw your work it looks good but its all short tech demo stuff would suggest looking at industry artists who do environment art. Since that is where you want to be. Some links that might help you, last link is more about CV. http://www.thiagoklafke.com/modularenvironments.html… -

Re: [UDK] Japanese Maple Scene
Yeah, no problem. They worked really well. You can always adjust the intensity or smooth it out. The textures are part of the project files from here: http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/products/tutorials/vmo01/.

Re: Sci-fi Evironment/level WIP
I would focus on one small area and fully do the diffuse, spec, gloss, and normals from start to finish. Right now it seems like you have a good hold on the design of the level, but are spreading yourself thin on the art by doing a very little bit of everything. Depending on the art style you are shooting for, the lighting… -
Re: Trying to reverse engineer this texturing process
The blurry padding is done with the Solidify filter, or something similar. There are a few different ways of getting that effect. MIPs: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Mip_Mapping These articles explain how the UVs and textures are laid out. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Modular_environments -
Re: Walls!
Start from the flat plane with your tiling texture on it, and start to model the cracks and holes to match the texture features. For example: http://www.philipk.net/tutorials/modular_rocks/modular_rocks.html http://wiki.polycount.com/ModelingRubbleIntoAPath -

Re: halftimber house - looking for feedback
This is a great start! I think the wood needs a bit of modeled detail. The wood timbers on real houses generally sticks out some from the brick. So your model would be better if it has this raised detail. This page on the wiki might help you. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/ModularMountAndBlade -
Re: Valve approach to Realism - L4Dead and Half Life 2
It's the same, but they do not depend on BSP alone. For example, you might make a corridor out of BSP brushes, but then you'd cover the flat walls with meshes. That way, you can have the benefits of a BSP tree with the beauty of your static models…
